Hello all,I have a quick question regarding Pigment. A user wants to see list dropdown displayed in alphabetical order. I was able to manually sort them via Manage Items → Name->Reorder → Ascending Order, which works initially.However, when the user re-uploads the list with new items, those new entries appear at the bottom, which breaks the sorting.Is there a way to automate the alphabetical sorting so that it's maintained even after list updates?Thanks in advance!Afshan Ahmad

Hi, I'm trying to perform a calculation in a metric that’s part of an iterative calculation. What I want to achieve is to take the value from the last non-blank month in Module A and allocate it to the latest actual month.I’ve tried using the same formula that’s applied in the I02 FY RF metric, but it’s not giving the desired result here. Interestingly, when I use the same formula in a different metric, it gives the correct value.I suspect the difference might be because this is an iterative metric and Month is the iterative dimension. Could you please suggest how I can handle this situation?  

I have a rather large transaction list (roughly 5M rows) with several dimensions.  I need to map the combination of these unique dimensions to assign my data into user managed groupings.  To do that, I need to do a 2 part calculation by first concatenated the various dimensions and then matching it to the grouped dimension.MATCH('_ Subscriber Activity'.'Account Type'.Name &"-"& '_ Subscriber Activity'.'Product Group'.Name &"-"& '_ Subscriber Activity'.'Product Subscribe Group'.Name &"-"& '_ Subscriber Activity'.'Device Sub Cohort'.Name &"-"& '_ Subscriber Activity'.'Device Type Cohort'.Name &"-"& '_ Subscriber Activity'.'Marketplace Cohort'.Name &"-"& '_ Subscriber Activity'.'Customer Subscribe Category'.Name,'_ Product Attributes'.Name) The problem is that I get an error that is: “Product Attributes: Formula timed out (> 3 minutes)”.  I’m not sure how to work around this error with a more optimized approach.  Any help will be much app

Hello community, I have a dimension City, with Department/Region/Country parents. I would like to use a Conditional Formatting on a metric, probably based on another source metric, to display raw data dynamically on a specific color according to the level of granularity. But I don’t know how to create a metric which calculate the level of granularity of my dimensions.  Let’s see my exemple: Dimension 1 : City Dimension 2 : Department > CityDimension 3 : Region > DepartmentDimension 4 : Country > RegionMetric : Budget per city Do you have any clue? Screenshot with fixed colors* 

Is there a way to make the dashboard load faster ?E.g. There is a dashboard having a grid with 50 metrics (all of the metrics are with ‘Customers’ dimensionality) and 10 filters on top of the board.If only 1 filter is selected, it doesn’t load the view/grid

We are experiencing that if we save a copy of a Google Sheet with Pigment Connector connections, we lose the connections in the copied sheet.  We just want to double-check if there's a way to maintain connections in a copied sheet or is it perhaps on the radar to be supported in the future?  Thank you!

Is there a way to retain number formatting in excel when using the Pigment Excel Connector?  I can retain things such as cell borders, colors, etc. but cannot retain number formatting.  Every time I pull data to refresh from Pigment, the number formatting is overridden in my excel workbook.This is not the case with the Google Sheets connector, which does retain number formatting in cells where Pigment data is being imported.  Does this functionality exist for the Excel connector, or is this a feature request?  

Hey Pigment community, I need to create a unique ID in a list by concatenating text values from several other properties. This works perfectly when my new unique ID column is set to the Text type.However, my requirement is for this unique ID to be of the Dimension type. As soon as I switch the column type to Dimension, the concatenation formula stos working, citing a type incompatibility.I've been trying to find a workaround for a while without any luck. Has anyone run into this before or have any ideas on how to solve this?Thanks in advance for your help!Andy

I am trying to export pigment data to PowerBI following the guided steps available on community, but I get an error “404 id not found”. Does anyone know what I could be missing in the setup? I used payload functionality to generate ID for metrics. 

I have an integer dimension by month, vendor, and function that has “1” if that vendor was employed in that specific month. How can I cumulate but reset if the employment is blank? I.e. some vendors are employed for 3 cumulative months, then take a 7 month break, and come back for 2 months so I would want the respective values to show 3 cumulated and then 2 cumulated. Thank you!

Hi Pigment - If the dependency is the previous month end inventory, why do we use the incoming order in the formula please.Thanks,Louie 

Hello everybody,Does anybody know if it is possible to use scenario's as an incremental effect to the default scenario? For my use case: I have a default scenario where my users are inputting their baseline forecast for the coming months/ years. I would like for them to be able to also model the associated risks & opportunities as incremental effects to that baseline forecast. So, basically: default scenario + opportunities = best case scenario. And; default scenario + risks = worst case scenario. And: default scenario + opportunities + risks = realistic scenario. I have tried copying scenario inputs from scenario A to scenario B, but that only overwrites the initial data in scenario B instead of data from A being appended to B. Manually copying and pasting all inputs from A to B and then adding additional input in B is too much of a hassle. Let alone that you'd have to keep in mind to update 3 scenario's if you change something in the baseline. It would be great if there's an eleg

Hi!Could you please elaborate on what “preferred” means here? If dimensions are not in the preferred selection, will they be left out? Thanks,Louie  

Hello all - I am new to Pigment and am having some serious difficulty staging up a lease schedule for my client. The client wants to input future forecasted leases as follows:Step 1: Select a region from a drop down menu  The region is already dimensioned via “L1 Geo” Step 2: A lease value column should prepopulate based on default regional values. The “L1 Geo” dimension has two additional columns with default Lease Values and default Cage values.  Step 3: A “Cage Fee” column should prepopulate based on default regional values. The “L1 Geo” dimension has two additional columns with default Lease Values and default Cage values.  Step 4: A rent escalator column should prepopulate with 3% Step 5: A term column should prepopulate with 60 months Step 6: A “Start Date” column should be manually entered Step 7: A monthly view should show two separate calculations that starts based on the start date of the lease: Lease value amortization & Cage Fee amortization.  So far I have the follo
